[Ubuntu] new packages

[Alan Boudreault]

Yes,

Anyway, if you add only testing... you should get an error like 
"dependency X is needed but it is not installable" when trying to 
install a package in testing.  Of course, this implies that the package 
you try to install from testing has a dependency from unstable repo, I 
don't know the grass dependencies by heart.
